 Slightly more than 33.5% of the $144.2 million the University expended on R&D in 2019 was funded through industry partnerships, the HERD index showed. That total – $48.3 million – puts UL Lafayette in the top 10 for industry-funded research.

 Among those 10 universities, UL Lafayette’s overall HERD ranking – 143rd – is the highest.

 Dr. Ramesh Kolluru is vice president for Research, Innovation and Economic Development at UL Lafayette. He said recently the 2019 HERD ranking “could not have happened without the determination and passion of our faculty, research staff, and graduate students as well as the administrative staff members throughout the University who support them.”
-“Our ability to continue to attract this level of R&D funding is a testament to the brainpower we have here. The hard work of our researchers has enabled the University to demonstrate – and deepen – its commitment to ‘research for a reason.’ The public impact of our research is felt locally, nationally and globally.”

Dashboards, which are also known as visual analytic tools, consolidate large amounts of data from many sources. The centralized information is displayed via tables, line charts, bar graphs and indexes. Businesses often use dashboards to measure market, industry or revenue trends.
